The drums and arrangements may have evolved around it, but melody has always remained central to Sascha Ring’s craft. Cast an ear back to 2001’s Multifunktionsebene and it’s there wafting over the IDM-informed glitch; fast-forward to 2011’s Devil’s Walkand it’s leading delicate songs you could hear on the radio. In the time between these two full-lengths Ring became one of Germany’s preeminent electronic artists. 2006’s Orchestra of Bubbles alongside fellow Berliner Ellen Allien hit as interest in the sounds of the city were reaching fever pitch. A similarly Berlin-centric project was conceived in 2009 with the release of Moderat, Ring’s collaboration with Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary of Modeselektor. His live solo material had by this point taken on the form of a band, set-up to tour his crossover full-length Walls. The show was expanded upon for last year’s Devil’s Walk, Ring’s most introverted and traditionally structured offering yet.

After only a few years in the scene, Anile has made a serious impact on Drum and Bass. With releases on Renegade Hardware, Broken Audio, Cylon and Hospital Records’ experimental offshoot label, Med School, Anile has been making a name for himself, producing everything from deep, minimal musicality to dark, tech-y moodiness. His varied styles are translated into exciting and experimental sets and we are looking forward to welcoming him to Med School in Room Three at Hospitality Bristol on Friday 6th October. This mix should give you an idea of what we can expect from Anile’s set in October. Enjoy.
